Question for BC folks - I am a much earlier riser than my family. On previous trips to Disney, I’d relax in the Wilderness Lodge lobby area (by the big fireplace) or on the balcony of our Poly or WL rooms. Coffee is a must...people watching with a pretty view/relaxing place/hidden quiet nook while reading the news will be my early morning happy time. Any suggestions on where to relax, alone, around 6-7:30ish each morning at the BC? And where can I get a cup of coffee? Brewing my own coffee in the room will not only wake up my family, but I am guessing it will not taste as wonderful as coffee I can find somewhere else on the property. Note: weather might be pleasant in the mornings so I’m open to outside suggestions also? We will be visiting from March 20 - 27th. Thanks!!
This is totally me!
I am an early riser who wakes up before the people I am travelling with. The resort is absolutely beautiful and peaceful in the morning. I love walking around when it is just me and a few cast members, either inside or outside watching the sun start to wake up. The recommendations above are excellent ideas for comfortable places to sit and chill.
I'll try to address the coffee issue-
1) Making it in the room- you are correct, not as good as what you can purchase freshly made. The sound is also a concern. I set up the coffee maker in the vanity area outside of the bathroom, which minimizes the disruption and usually doesn't wake my family.
2) I prefer hot coffee in the morning, BUT, to get me to the point where I am able to grab and go, I will stash coffee in the mini fridge in a reusable mug, get ice before I go to bed and then slip out of the room, either onto the balcony or to wander, with my iced coffee.
3) There is usually a place open for purchasing coffee by the time I need a refresher- either the Beach Club Marketplace (near the Solarium pictured below) or at the Yacht Club Ale & Whatever Market.
Does anyone know exactly what time these two places open for coffee? Is it 6 or 6:30?

Grab a coffee at the marketplace and chill out in the solarium?
Or maybe in the “breezeway” area of the DVC building?[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the great suggestions and pictures of the Solarium* and the Breezeway.
*One issue I have had with the Solarium in the early morning hours is that the tv was on, and quite loud. I have been told that the remote is kept out now, available to guests, but that was not the case years ago when I was there.
